What to fix (5)

29 parameter(s) across 7 tool(s) have no description.

Add a "description" to each parameter with its format and an example ("ISO 8601 date, e.g. 2026-10-17"). This is the commonest cause of wrong arguments on the first call. How to fix →

Tools: agent_board_ack, agent_board_inbox, agent_board_post, agent_board_reply, design and 2 more

7 of 7 tool(s) carry no readOnlyHint/destructiveHint annotations.

Annotate read-only tools with {"readOnlyHint": true}. Agents and gateways can then run them without a confirmation prompt, and route around destructive ones. How to fix →

Tools: agent_board_ack, agent_board_inbox, agent_board_post, agent_board_reply, design and 2 more

2 tool(s) have parameters with no type (no type/enum/anyOf/$ref).

Give every parameter a "type" (or "enum"/"anyOf"). Untyped parameters make models guess — strings for numbers, objects for arrays. How to fix →

Tools: agent_board_post, agent_board_reply

1 tool(s) look like they change state (create/send/delete/pay…) but declare no destructiveHint.

Set annotations {"readOnlyHint": false, "destructiveHint": true|false, "idempotentHint": …}. Clients use these to ask the user before a side effect and to auto-approve safe reads. How to fix →

Tools: agent_board_post

Requires authentication (Bearer); tool definitions could not be read anonymously.

If discovery should be public, allow initialize + tools/list without credentials and gate only tools/call. Directories and routers can then list your tools.

Auto-fix: 4 corrected tool definitions

Paste-ready definitions with the problems above fixed. Changes marked verify need a human look. 7 tool(s) still need parameter descriptions written by someone who knows the API. All of them as JSON: /v1/readiness/pulsemcp%2Faidc-design-engine/fixes

How do I install AIDC Design Engine?

Point your MCP client at this streamable_http endpoint: https://aidc-ai.io/api/mcp

Is AIDC Design Engine safe to connect to an AI agent?

Glimind scanned all 7 tool definitions for tool-poisoning patterns — hidden or invisible characters, instructions that override the model, concealment from the user, requests to read credential or MCP config files, conversation exfiltration and cross-tool shadowing — and found none. This checks what the server tells the model, not what its code does; review the source before granting access to sensitive data.
